I hope he got his sweets from Arum for this comment

...Lopez can thank Loma and the WBC for putting an asterisk next to his status. Loma wasn't gonna fight Haney first so he applied for the franchise title. The WBC's fault is that this was an option to begin with. And Haney should have gone the IBF route, ain't no fukkery over there, don't know why not all these fighters who reasonably or not but think that the top guys will avoid them go the IBF route. It's the clearest, least nonsensical organization by quite a distance, you can basically force their title holders to fight you or they have to vacate.

Good fight. Was rooting for Taylor and scored it 6-6. Man was playing a very dangerous game the last 4 rounds by coasting. At the very least I expected him to go hard in the 12th but he was content with taking his foot off the pedal. Good for him but he got a bit lucky here.

There are still some good fights for him at 140. Dont think he needs to move up yet. Mikey, Easter, Fimo if he moves up or a rematch with Rougarou, those would be interesting fights.

Only issue I can see with him is that he cuts very easily.

Elvis Rodriguez really does the same thing all fight and expect a different result. He probably needed this loss.

Zepeda is done, his punch resistance and confidence is over.

Taylor is a beast and Ramirez is a monster for not going to sleep in the second KD. This was a fight similar to the Prograis fight minus the KD, I scored that a draw as well. Taylor has some pop because he’s dropped everybody but Prograis and to have 5 KDs at world level is nothing to sniff at.

They need to keep all them 135 fighters including Teo far away from Taylor and Ramirez they get their careers derailed.

i dont think his punch resistance is done..he didnt go down in this fight but something clearly was off...his defense just looked all around bad...his confidence i agree is prolly shaky cuz he absorbed so much punishment from baranchyk

great fight. i have no problem with the way taylor faught. ramirez is too simplistic. as a matter of fact, what is robert garcia's training record? man seems like he is lackadaisical and coaching Ls and cashing checks.
Really? Ramirez is extremely limited and look how far he got. Dude punches the same way I do. Robert Garcia is a great trainer.

He did go down go watch the replay of that slip, he got dropped and his legs stiffed up
